You’re not alone in this. NAPAC sees more and more male survivors disclosing each year. The earlier you disclose, the earlier you can begin working through your experiences and get on the road to recovery. If you’re here, reading this, you’ve already taken a step in the right direction.
We know that talking can be tough and isn’t accessible for everyone, so you can also email us at support@napac.org.uk
If you are feeling anxious or having a panic attack it can be useful to know these calming techniques.

If you want to talk, you can always come to NAPAC, be that via our support line listed at the top of this page, or by emailing support@napac.org.uk.
